Phase II Study of Oxaliplatin And Fixed Rate Infusion Gemcitabine as Second Line Therapy for Patients With Metastatic Colon Cancer


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Determine the complete response and partial response rates in patients with recurrent
or progressive colon cancer treated with gemcitabine hydrochloride and oxaliplatin.

Secondary

- Determine the overall and failure-free survival of patients treated with the
chemotherapy regimen.

- Determine the duration of response (complete or partial) in patients treated with this
regimen.

- Determine the percentage of patients who experience a 50% fall of serum
carcinoembryonic antigen levels with a baseline elevation of > 5 U/mL after receiving
this regimen.

- Evaluate the toxicity associated with the administration of this regimen in these
patients.

OUTLINE: This is a non-randomized study.

Patients receive gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 100 minutes on day 1 and oxaliplatin IV
over 2 hours on day 2. Courses repeat every 2 weeks in the absence of disease progression or
unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for up to 1 year.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 27 patients will be accrued for this study.
